Marketwired
Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the leader in Business Process
Management (BPM) and a leading provider of Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) solutions, announced that its Pega Cloud®
offerings have been certified to higher levels of security and
reliability, with SOC 2 certification. Service Organization
Controls (SOC) are a series of accounting standards that measure
the control of financial information for a service organization.
They are covered under both the SSAE 16 and the ISAE 3402
professional standards.
SOC 2 provides a rigorous reporting framework for non-internal
control over financial reporting (ICFR) circumstances related to
security, availability, and privacy. Under SOC 2, control
objectives are pre-defined based on structure provided by Trust
Services Principles and Criteria. The purpose of SOC 2 is to convey
trust and assurance to users of a system that the service
organization has deployed an effective control system to
effectively mitigate operational and compliance risks that the
system may represent to its users.
Pegasystems has been at the forefront of delivering
enterprise-level cloud solutions that meet the needs of the world's
largest and most sophisticated organizations. Pega Cloud delivers a
99.95 percent SLA and its control architecture has already helped
clients meet both industry specific and geographic regulatory
requirements, including HIPAA, PCI DSS, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and
European Union Data Privacy. Achieving SOC 2 certification further
enables enterprises that have previously had security concerns
about the cloud to consider it as a viable option. Pega Cloud does
not lock clients into a deployment option, enabling customers to
seamlessly move between cloud and on-premise deployments, depending
on the needs of the business.
Quotes & Commentary: "For over four
years, some of the world's largest financial services, healthcare
and insurance companies in the Americas, Asia and Europe have
entrusted Pega Cloud to run some of their most mission-critical
Pega applications while meeting their specific regulatory
compliance requirements," said Douglas Kim, Managing Director of
Product Marketing at Pegasystems. "With the SOC2 Certification,
Pega Cloud has third party validation that we meet and exceed the
security, privacy and accessibility requirements that our
enterprise clients require when they consider the potential for
deploying solutions on the cloud."
